A fairy tale grounded in poignant reality, the magnificent, Manhattan-set The Fisher King, by Terry GilIiam, features Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams in two of their most brilIiant roles. Bridges plays a former radio shock jock reconstructing his life after a scandaI, and WilIiams is a homeless man on a quest for the Holy Grail - which he beIieves to be hidden somewhere on the Upper West Side. Unknowingly linked by their pasts, the two men aid each other on a fancifuI journey to redemption. This singuIar American odyssey features a witty script by Richard La Gravenese, evocative cinematography by Roger Pratt, and superb supporting performances by Amanda PIummer and an Oscar-winning Mercedes Ruehl, all harnessed by GiIliam into a humane, funny modern-day myth. |
